Wisconsin Police Finally Arrest A Long Time Counterfeit Money Master
Counterfeiting is one those crimes to me doesn't seem real. Since, I've seen the storyline so many times through the years in movies and television shows. Don't get me wrong, I know it happens all the time, even here in Rockford. The whole counterfeiting thing seems like a lot of work. Especially in a world filled with internet scams. Apparently for a guy in Wisconsin, it's actually pretty easy.
Here we go again. Another dumb criminal. Come on, guy. Switch it up. Don't keep going to the same store chain every time. You're just asking to get busted. If you're doing well, don't put a spotlight on yourself by doing something stupid like getting busted smoking weed.
According to WISN ABC 12...
